## <a id=build-publish-your-op></a> Building and Publishing Your Own Nginx Ansible Operator Example Edge Service

In order to deploy a containerized edge service to an edge cluster, a software developer first has to build a Kubernetes Operator that deploys the containerized edge service in a Kubernetes cluster. There are several options when writing a Kubernetes operator. This example will guide through creating an ansible operator. The following steps were originally performed on the cluster host machine.

1. Create a new operator application and generate a default directory layout based on the input name, and move into the created default operator directory:
In order to deploy a containerized edge service to an edge cluster, a software developer first has to build a Kubernetes Operator that deploys the containerized edge service in a Kubernetes cluster. There are several options when writing a Kubernetes operator. This example will guide through creating an ansible operator. These steps are based on the [Ansible Operator Tutorial](https://v1-27-x.sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/building-operators/ansible/tutorial/) on the official `operator-sdk` website. If you have never created an operator before, I highly suggest skimming over the information there as well. The following steps were originally performed on the cluster host machine.

1. Creating yourself a base working directory, and grab the Makefile int his repo:
```bash
operator-sdk new my-operator --type=ansible --api-version=my.operator.com/v1alpha1 --kind=MyOperator
cd my-operator/
mkdir operator-example-service
cd operator-example-service/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/Makefile
```

**Note:** If you are following these steps to create an operator that will deploy your own service, you should modify the names used above, **not** modify things manually in the generated files.

The above command will give you an empty ansible operator. At the very least you will need to define a `deployment`, `service`, and a set of tasks to deploy your service. If you look in the [ansible-role-files](https://github.com/open-horizon/examples/tree/master/edge/services/hello-operator/ansible-role-files) directory you can see these three files and how they are used to deploy the `nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged` image, and how they expose the port `8080`. There are several methods for configuring cluster network traffic, which you can read about in the [OCP traffic overview documentation](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/networking/configuring_ingress_cluster_traffic/overview-traffic.html). For this service we've going to create a service of type `NodePort` and `expose` our service with a route.
2. Obtain the `deployment`, `service`, and task file and move them into the `my-operator` roles directory with the following commands:
2. Export the following environment variables to customize the `operator-sdk` init:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/ansible-role-files/deployment.j2 && mv deployment.j2 roles/myoperator/templates/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/ansible-role-files/service.j2 && mv service.j2 roles/myoperator/templates/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/ansible-role-files/main.yml && mv main.yml roles/myoperator/tasks/
export OPERATOR_GROUP_NAME=my-nginx-ansible-operator
export OPERATOR_TYPE=ansible
export OPERATOR_API_VERSION=v1alpha1
export OPERATOR_DOMAIN=$DOCKER_HUB_ID
export OPERATOR_KIND=MyNginxAnsibleOperator
export OPERATOR_NAMESPACE=operator-project
```

3. **FOR OCP EDGE CLUSTERS ONLY:** Obtain the `route`, and modified task file and move them into the `my-operator` roles directory:
3. Create `my-nginx-ansible-operator`:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/ansible-role-files/route.j2 && mv route.j2 roles/myoperator/templates/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-horizon/examples/master/edge/services/nginx-operator/ansible-role-files/main-route.yml && mv main-route.yml roles/myoperator/tasks/main.yml
make init
```

4. **FOR OCP EDGE CLUSTERS ONLY:** By default the operator does not have the permission to create routes, however, with the following command you can add the lines needed to the `deploy/role.yaml` file so the operator can expose the `nginx` service with a route:
The above Makefile command will:
- Create a new `my-nginx-ansible-operator` project and generate the entire operator structure and empty `roles/mynginxansibleoperator`
- Create a `MyNginxAnsibleOperator` API
- Added `services` to the operator RBAC
- Changed the default namespace to the value set with `OPERATOR_NAMESPACE`
- Added `size: 1` to the operators custom resource

4. Gather the necessary nginx deployment, service, and task files for the operator to deploy the nginx service:
```bash
echo "- apiGroups:
- route.openshift.io
resources:
- routes
- routes/custom-host
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
- patch
- update
- create
- delete" >> deploy/role.yaml
make nginx-files
```

5. Build the operator image (use ppc64le for power arch):
5. Build and push the operator:
```bash
operator-sdk build docker.io/$DOCKER_HUB_ID/my.operator_amd64:1.0.0
docker push docker.io/$DOCKER_HUB_ID/my.operator_amd64:1.0.0
make build push
```

6. In the `deploy/operator.yaml` file, replace `"REPLACE_IMAGE"` with the operator image name you built and pushed in the previous step (use ppc64le for power arch):
```text
image: "<docker-hub-id>/my.operator_amd64:1.0.0"
6. Deploy the operator locally:
```
7. Apply the required resources to run the operator
```bash
kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/my.operator.com_myoperators_crd.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/service_account.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/role.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/my.operator.com_v1alpha1_myoperator_cr.yaml
make deploy
```
8. Ensure the operator pod and the deployed service pod are running:
7. After a few moments you should see your pods begin to start and your service get created:
```bash
kubectl get pods
kubectl get pods -n $OPERATOR_NAMESPACE
```

If everything deployed correctly, you should see output similar to the following after around 60 seconds:

```text
